Been a vacation an away from a computer. Regarding the torsion bars it really depends on which length is on your truck. Mine had the shorter 52" versions. Which allowed me to use the GM 2500/3500 torsion bars. I am using Stock Ford keys with 3500 bars with a lb rating of 9180. They are 54" long and had to move the crossmember back close to 2".

Here is a quick diagram of the caged pulley, should you want to make it work. That setup looked real nice and im sure you could resell it on lightning rodder.

Thanks guys. Pm'ed him for it. $75 shipped ain't bad. As long as it hasn't already sold. [MENTION=141720]Z7What[/MENTION], I'm purchasing a load from your buddy this week. Will have most of the major parts for the swap. Its almost time to start nit picking all the small items I need. Thanks again.

Edit:: after a little research found out its a JDM unit. Pm'd Jim about the possibility of getting new parts. Hope he can deliver. I really like the extra protection it provides the crank.
